El Salvador 2010: Hilux leads a pack of pick-ups

Videos of the streets of San Salvador, the capital city of El Salvador, reveal that in all likeliness the Toyota Hilux is the best selling car in the country. Salvadoreans are very fond of pick-ups: the Mazda BT-50, Mitsubishi L200 and Nissan Frontier are also very popular.

There is a huge amount of old gen Toyota Corollas in the streets of El Salvador, a lot of them as taxis, however the last generation Corolla doesn’t seem to have enjoyed the same success in the country as its predecessors, the Salvadorian consumer seemingly shifting towards a more accessible Yaris sedan.

This speculation is based on the observation of recent YouTube videos of the streets of the country. Please do get in touch if you have any more info about car sales in El Salvador.
